P. Hen. O, pardon me, my liege! but for my tears, [kneeling. / The moist impediments unto my speech, / I had fore-stall’d this dear and deep rebuke, / Ere you with grief had spoke, and I had heard / The course of it so far: There is your crown; / And He that wears the crown immortally, / Long guard it yours!
